UV-resistant bacteria:

UV-resistant and/or pigment-producing bacteria have been extensively described in the literature. So, we can know beforehand which taxa to search in this dataset. As the resolution of ONT 16S rRNA sequencing do not reach the species level (even using the entire 16S), we will search at the genus and family level.

Taxa of interest:

  • Genus level:
    • Tanner (2020): Hymenobacter, Deinococcus, Arthrobacter, Alcaligenes, Sphingomonas, Curtobacterium, Microbacterium, Kineococcus, Methylobacterium, Rubrobacter, Modestobacter, Rubellimicrobium, Planomicrobium, Bacillus, Rhodobacter, Chryseobacterium
    • Deng et al. (2016): Micrococcus
    • Paulino-Lima et al. (2016): Kocuria, Pontibacter, Geodermatophilus, Cellulomonas
    • Yu et al. (2013): Knoellia, Lysobacter, Nocardioides, Paracoccus, Pontibacter, Rufibacter and Microvirga
    • Etemadifar et al. (2015): Exiguobacterium
  • Family level (taxonomy as in Silva 138)
    • Hymenobacteraceae: Hymenobacter, Pontibacter, Rufibacter
    • Deinococcaceae: Deinococcus
    • Micrococcaceae: Arthrobacter, Micrococcus, Kocuria
    • Microbacteriaceae: Curtobacterium, Microbacterium
    • Alcaligenaceae: Alcaligenes
    • Sphingomonadaceae: Sphingomonas
    • Kineosporiaceae: Kineococcus
    • Beijerinckiaceae: Methylobacterium-Methylorubrum, Microvirga
    • Rubrobacteraceae: Rubrobacter
    • Geodermatophilaceae: Modestobacter, Geodermatophilus
    • Rhodobacteraceae: Rubellimicrobium, Rhodobacter, Paracoccus
    • Planococcaceae: Planomicrobium
    • Bacillaceae: Bacillus
    • Weeksellaceae: Chryseobacterium
    • Cellulomonadaceae: Cellulomonas
    • Intrasporangiaceae: Knoellia
    • Xanthomonadaceae: Lysobacter
    • Nocardioidaceae: Nocardioides
    • Exiguobacteraceae: Exiguobacterium
    • Trueperaceae: Truepera

Note: Rufibacter and Microvirga are NOT in GreenGenes 13_8, but they are included in Silva 138.

(We finally use Silva 138).


Percentage of UV-resistant bacteria (Genus Level)

Not grouped:

Grouped:

Richness of UV-bacteria (Presence/Absence):

samples has been sorted by total richness (presence of UV-resisstant bacteria)

Abundance + richness of UV-bacteria (all together):

Note: Samples are sorted by the total number of UV-resistant bacteria found (UV Bacteria) Note 2: Rarefaction to the lower library size has been performed in order to calculate richness


OTU-like tables have been written for Species, Genera & Phylum Level.
